Disconnect the battery and allow the vehicle to sit for aprox 10 minutes. Next, disconnect the wiring harness, then you can remove the computer. With the battery still disconnected, reverse the sequence.

Here is the location of the engine computer, (PCM). There is no programming necessary. Remove the kick panel on the passage side of the car, (inside) the computer is behind it. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
